title: [Oligonucleotide fingerprinting using (GTG)5 and (GACA)4 probes for the differentiation of body fragments].
abstract: For the detection of postmortem stability of DNA and for the identification of parts of dead bodies of unknown origin the oligonucleotide probes (GTG)5 and (GACA)4 can be used. (GTG)5 is a highly discriminating probe which allows to differentiate in the 4 to 25 kilobase range of DNA fragments. DNA fingerprints obtained by (GACA)4 show useful results especially in the short fragment range. The (GACA)4 probe can therefore be used to analyze partially degraded DNA.
